As an Old Model three-screw Super Blackhawk, this revolver represents a sought-after configuration with classic Ruger single-action characteristics. The 80- serial prefix confirms 1972 production, aligning it with a period many collectors specifically identify.
The revolver is built with a steel frame and cylinder wearing a factory high-polish blued finish across the frame, receiver, and six-shot unfluted cylinder. The grip frame is aluminum alloy with a bright, unblued silver finish, giving the gun a distinctive two-tone look.
It is fitted with a standard-length aluminum-alloy XR3-RED style grip frame and a rounded trigger guard for a classic Ruger single-action profile.
Its 7.5-inch barrel provides a long sight radius, working with the ramped front sight and fully adjustable rear sight to support precise shooting. The wide, serrated-spur hammer offers positive control for single-action operation.
Right-side loading is handled through the loading gate, and the full-length ejector rod housing with a round, grooved button (bullseye) ejector head provides straightforward case extraction. Smooth walnut grips with Ruger silver medallions complete the period-correct look and feel.
